May have committed. This administration has lied about so much involving the war and related issues, you can't really believe anything they say about the detainees. I'll be really interested when we finally receive an accounting of the information gained as a result of questionable practices to see if the hit we've taken to our national prestige was worth it.
I recently read a book written by a military interrogator in Afghanistan (amazon.com link
here). Several times, the targets cracked when they realized that the Americans would not torture them, and they saw that we had a better society. Too bad we've lost that high ground.
